For anybody with more than a passing interest in cave diving, you might like to see some really cool video taken in Mayan Blue (B tunnel) last November.  Me and two buddies spent a couple of weeks in the Yucatan, doing some "proper" DIR cave diving.

Check out the video by going here DIR Norway site go down the page and click on "MayanBlue-3MB.wmv"

Enjoy the video, shot by Renato Raseta and edited by Lars Barstad (by the way. I'm the one in the Scubapro "chain mail" hood).

Enjoy!

I did!

Hey Zak

No, they're AL80's.  I was quite surprised at how little weight we needed. I just slipped a couple of 1kg v-weights in and that was sufficient.  We were all diving dry and I took a 200g thinsulate.

<font color='#8D38C9'>We were in Mexico last December &amp; got to do the caverns one day at Dos Ojos on the Yucatan pennisula. That great video clip brought it all back to me.

It was a great &quot;taster&quot; of the beauty of cave diving, but I don't think I'm fully commited yet to the joys of cave diving.
But the video is awe inspiring!
Thanks for sharing it with us.

The cavern at Dos Ojos is huge. I think it's the biggest cavern zone anywhere in the world (or something?). &nbsp;I remember it taking something like 20 mins to reach the permanent cave line. &nbsp;The fun really begins after that!

<font color='#0000FF'>Bob,

Wow, unbelievable.

I think you really need to have your sh*t together for that malarky, eh?

Bravo

Thanks

Rick

<font color='#0000FF'>Looks excellent Bob. Had half a dozen dives in Dos Ojos myself a couple of years ago, best diving i've ever done.

Flow stone, the batcave, Alligator, everything. Cant wait to go back.

Stu.
